Small enough to tailor-make your meal (with advance notice) and big enough to service any function, Frère’s Bistro brings Paris to the Mother City. Catering to those who have a palate for honest French cuisine served in a relaxed style that more than lives up the European principle of joie de vivre, Frère’s offers its loyal customers the chance to eat with friends and family, laugh & enjoy.
We were recently invited to review the restaurant, where we had a stunning three course menu. Until we publish the review, I will leave you with a few images of the current spring menu. Frère’s Bistro change their menu every 3 months, so make sure you book your table before the summer menu gets introduced in December!
